but although he thought the statement made by His Er celltncy, that this distress was rather local and special than general, and that a great majority of the people had preserved a reasonable prosperity, he wss nat st all disposed to deny that great c\u2019soretaion did exist, but, at the same time, he felt jostitied In saying that a very considerable diminution in the imports of this country was foreseen.He thought he would hr able to show the House several important mitigating circumstances, which might go far to relieve the apprehen depression would not be so sarious.Our exports were scxrcely diminished.We had a full treasury, ample funds for carrying on our public works, and he looked for an early return to prosperity.The expenditure for the past three years lu some items wss wholly of an abnormal cha- TTrT1T_____________(_______________ racter and unlikely to recur again, bat there chargeable unless it was shewn they hail en- was no doubt that Canada had maie remark-tend into wild expeuditores and an uxtrava- able progress.He had rejected In hiscalcu-gant policy.He then reit-rnl to the utioqs both on a former occasion and the items in the estimates and the policy of the Go- present one, all the abnormal growth which vernment in taking advantage of labour and he thought likely to be indited, and had de-material being cheap and by proceeding with ponded entirely upon what he considered the the public works to aid those who required | natural growth.The Gsvernment had very employment.The sum oi f5l3,000 additional interest was rendered necessary for the loan to oe contract- d.Then the Supreme Court and mounted police, and treaties with Ind aiM, necessitated farther auKin-ntalion m ef* timatrs.Mr.Cartwright then referred to the deceased expenditure \u2018n va'.ous items amounting to a sum total of\t21 on consolidated fund charges, and f\t' 60 chargeable to capital\t*\u201c (Chairs) subject until a future issue\twu.v- \u2014___________________________ we may mention that any changes in the I ^ionVo?anUln psrtles.As to the state of tarifl, which may have been, or are, con-1 .without at all de- templated by the Government, so far things at prescnt axUt\u2019ng, without at all desiring to under-estimate the importance of the commercial losses, he believed this country had seen a very much worse crisis In its pxst history, and hsd passed successfully throogh it; in his judgment the position of the country wss really far less alarming to-day than It wss two or three years and applsus* ) Certain expenditure.He hoped witliin a modérât-) time carefully considered Us duty not to favor one province nor one cla««, but the whsle Domi nion and to all classes.He was obliged to differ in opinion from some of his honorable friends, and he acknowledged that tbtre was force in some of the arguments employed, there was much distress existing among some classes, and ho regretted that the Govurn-ment had not been able to see their way clearly to relieving that distress, except at the risk of inflicting a far mors permanent publications that will be msde.'\u2019 Mr.Tapper further read extracts which he claimed as establishing a lesgus between the then opposition and Mr.Rrydges and Mr.Potter.Mr.MACKENZIE said that this was a childish proof.He had never had a syllable of conversât on regarding public affairs with Mr.Brydges until after the Government came in, and Mr.Brydges tend -red his resignation.The speaker coudemmd Mr.Tappet's remarks regarding the Pacith Railway.He bellevfcd that a protective system would make tho rich richer and the poor poorer.The Government had endeavored honestly and fairly to carry ont their policy of economy and endeavored to keep their expenditure within their Income, and he was satisfied that the people of this country would endorse the Government action to decrease public expenditure.He believed that the true cause of Canadian prosperity in tho past was that It was a cheap country to live in (bear, hear).Mr.IRVING moved the adjournment of the debate, seconded by Mr.WOOD.Carried.Tho Houeo then adjourned until Monday.have not been laid before the House.EXTENSION OF THE TELEGRAPH SYSTEM IN THE RIVER AND GULF.A petition has been forwarded to Ot-1 ago.(Laughter \u2018n(i A peiiinju a» .\t\u201e\t.\tI oariies In this House and ont of it were in tawa on behalf of the Boards ot 1 rad® £aoger 0f filing i\u201eto an error which he depraving for Government aid towards this ilred ^ correct.Many persons, he hM^ved nutition has been taken thought the remarkable expansion which had project.The petition has\t.I taken place indicated absolute and sta- charge of by Hon.Mr.Cauchon.A chart\tp(0gre«s.He never denied that there has been prepared of Dr.Fortm\u2019s scheme\tniuierl,ing that expansion a great pros- nd applauiw ) «av that regarding other public works all he\tin conclusion he said they had been called cniild vav wss that he hoped the deficit\ton for a national policy\u2014a policy of justice would be gradually reduced.In 1874 he had\tto the whole Dominion.He did not propose cautioned the House that In public works si- for the adoption of the\tth\u2018', 0wue».uu\tw.»uouv «uuiug nuy nrilar items could scarcely be reduced to less a po icy which could only be sent as a servile\tdlft.jrence iQ the u.mimeratloQ which than an annual charge of $7,000 000, and\tplagiarism of the worst bloa lightly as he appears to do of the ©stab dilute heavier than they should be.These lightly as ne appears to ao 01 ine eswu\t^ foand in the intere8t column.They lishment in our midst of other branches | wete ceiled upon to pay a very considerable due to the dimjputlon in tbe amount of bul lion exported, and about three millions and a half in goods not produced in Canada.However, the total reduction In the yo lame of imports and exports amonnUd to $19,516,461, or nearly $20,000,000 In the total volume ot trade.It would be well to call the attention of the House to certain cross entrits which swelled the colnmns of expen of commerce in addition to that of Lumber, we certainly coincide in his idea of a conference ; and have no doubt whatever that the good sense of both sides would be brought to bear in thb direction of an amicable and satisfactory arrangement of their differences.PROVINCE OF NOVA SCOTIA.Hauvax, Feb.25\u2014The weathir continues cold, but there are indications of a change tonight.The thermometer marked as low as 1« 9 lut night.A Dumber of insurance ageats appeared before the Committee of the Assembly to-day, and argued against a bill sent to tbe Legislature by the City Council imposing a tax of 2 per cent on the income of all insurance companies except marine.Home Alder man were prerent and defended the imposition of the ! cax.The Grand Mvsonlc Lodge of Prince Edward Island, at a meeting the other night in Charlottetown, passed a resolution condemning the use of ardent spirits on public occasions in connection with the Order.The Lunenburg packet Frank Newton, from Halifax, is ashore eleven miles trom Lnnenbuig, and will be a total loss.Crew and cargo saved.NEW BRUNSWICK.8t.Jobs, Feb.25\u2014Weather moderated today ;

The speaker then proceeded to refer to the fact of the Minister of Finança, and Mlnitter of Justice having on ssveral oc casions said that the Pacific Railway con strnction had caused Increased taxation and quoted from Mr.Cartwright's speech to shew that he guaranteed the country that the lu-creagrii imports would cover every necessary expenditure If with his new taxes he had bad the same revenue as he foreshadowed in last though not least the laborers who put the timber and deals Into the ships) make a living out of timber aud shipping, and that the import trades which give occupation to J comparatively few hands pry almost nothing, while any of the so called improvements which are in contemplation cannot be of the slightest nee to ehipt or timber; although, if i the animus heretofore shown by the ^oardof Trade be continued, ships and timber will be made to find the funds requisite for all work to be done.There are now three associations whose ac- Ordertfor Plumbing, Bell-hanging, Oat-fitting, Tin and Copper work, will be attended prompt tp.V* Special attention paid to tbe Heating of Bonding» with Steam or Hot-Water on tbe most approved plan.February 21, 1876 1875, he would have derived a total sum of jjon been very inimical to the interests $26,225,990.There is no policy that would 0f abjppfog an(i the prosecution of the lumber undermine public confidence or create despair tr4d0j vj8 .The Beard of Trade, and its cre-in commercial circles than the misstatement aiion, the Harbor Commission, and the Ship of its financial affairs by the custodian of the | Laborers\u2019 Benevolent Society ; the latter is No.7, St.John Street, Upper Town, and No.15, Sous le-Fort Street, Lower Town, ADVANTAGES OFFEREDs It is confined by Its Charter to Insure nothing more hazardous than Farm Property and Residences.It Insures Live Block against death by lightning, either In the Bnlldlng or on tbs premises of the Assured.It refuses Mills, Shops, Tanneries, Stores, Hotel*, and other hazardous property, ana makes a speciality of Farm Property and Dwellings.It Is not subject to heavy losses, and affords a certain Guarantee to those tt Insurer.It u a purely Canadian Instltntlon, Its business Is confine] to the Dominion, and Is trod»* the management of men who have devoted many years to this peculiar branch of Insurance, and understand thoroughly the requirements of the Farmers as a class.Fat mers aud ethers will cousait their own Interests by Insuring In this Company.T.H.MAHONY, A.GKNT, No.4«, PETER STREET.Fehrnaiy 2.1876.\tja**l8-Lm ^ Offer for Sale at Small Advance on Cost POUBttie.Uiey UJUSl ua w © l no pvwva WV \u2018 ^6 ' I x't ,%a\t\u2014j - A\tF Is* 1 it\tV \u201c v* w s v a* v >'W^sw»ay , mmmme\tI late who should anil who should not go into exchequer.Again when Mr.Potter of England the oniy one wb|ch can or (foug confer aQy rrr»\" * rrmri n x i \u2022 i j* xL business, and he did not thick that mannfac- made his dsmsging statements against Ca- Birvjcp> acd foey Jo get the ahipg loaded, J SKATES a\u201c\tlI*^uGing tile tn,Ars and commercial men were prepared to nadtan Railways, a fatal blow was struck at The laureate of the laborers are Identical - - \u2018\t1(1 New York Club\u201d Mi Plated.portion of tbe public debt maturing on the let July, 1875, and the money for the payment ot this debt bad to lie some time without drawing interest.The receipts for this interest of the debt might be considered as explaining these entries.In paying off tbe Seigcorial indebtedness, a great portion of which was paid before the 1st January, 1875, a very considerable additional charge was made upon the present year.This Seig-norial indebtedness, instead of being charged to the past year, was charged upon the present jear, and therefore tncy were obliged to pay interest upon It, amounting to little less than the interest upon the whole account.Sp aking of Ihe receipts, he said that in almost every case the receipts exceeded the estimates made in 1874, with tbe exception of the receipts op account of Excise and on account of Public Works, gome changes were made in the mode of equipping railroads, which accounted for the difference b|e.tween the estlaurtea submitted by him on a former occasion acd the actual receipts on that occision.In pursuance of a policy previously announced by him, he had entirely sepa'ated all charger on account of the loan contracted in 1874 from the Contolida\u2019ed Fond.Another item was the sum of $131,-710 for the boundary survey between ourselves and the United Butes.In the Budget speech of 1874-5 be mentioned that this sum had been actually expended in lfi73, but owing to delay in the transmission of the vonebers it was not included in tbe ordinary expend tares of that year.Tbe last item of Importance was tbe Item of change of gauge.He was peifect)y well aware that this Item had formerly been charged to Ihe cap! til account.In this case he had, after conference with his honorable frjend beside him decided to charge two thirds of this to capital account, and ono third to income, not intending to make any fjrther change in that account hereafter.With respect to the alteration of steel for iron rails that was entirely chargeable to income.He considered that notwithstanding the depression, the totel receipts for 1874-6 were eminently satisfactory.With respect Jo the changes made on account they were able to say that th®i 6 was a balance amounting to nearly a million dollars, and they bad anticipated a very considerable portion of the revenue of the past year.There was a very couilderable dlainntion in the volume of trade during that year.In making a comparison between, tbe total expenditure of 1873-4 and 1874-6, we find that in 1873-4 the expenditure was $23 316,000, and though the Interest and subsidies amounted to $10,275,766, leaving a balance of $13,060,520; in 1874-5 total expenditure amounted to $23,793,051, Interest on subsidies amounted to $11, 124,634, while the controllable expenditure amounted to tbe sum of $12,588,437, leaving a balance ip favor of 1874-5 of $472.083.If we place tutors- ¦¦¦\t- .- .nay this price.The Government had been sobj-ctid to much pressure from outside influence to 4induce them to Introduce a high protective\u2018 Urifl.Under certain ciicnm-stances a revenue tar.ff might at times bo imposed for the protection of infant manufactures, and he might add that tho results of his investigations convicctd him that the cost of manufacturing articles we now imported coqld be so great Jhat tho public would uot bear the burden.This for a time would undoubtedly be the case, although he our Interests, and he would show that this gentleman, the president of tbe Grand Trunk Railway, a gentleman who is said to have combined with these now in power to defeat the building of tbe Pacifia Railway, this gentleman had quoted Mr Brydges name, his opinions to back him In his onslaught upon Canadian interests, and every day every hour, Mr.Brydges remained as au officer of the Government.The Premier was responsible for iosultlpg and dogrqd lug the people of the Dominion.Mr.Potter with those of the shipowners, merchants, brokers, and all engaged in the removal of lumber from Q rebec to its place of consumption.All must desire that employment of !

The speaker then referred to tue demoralization which high tariffs cxeicised upon certain classes tempting them to rmug-gle and carry cn illicit business.He warned the House and the country against any high tariff Imposition, quoting Mr.Welt\u2019s remarks upon freé' trade and protection, iq ' which that writer depicted the protective tar.ff of the patted B ate's as and cai^e back prompting disastrous competition in the iron | about thirty trade and other large producing factories.These remarks were pregnant with warning both to the House and country.The United States tariff bad in many exses impoverished the people, and the high tariff in Canada would enrich the tew to the detriment of the many.JLarge accumulai ions of money If that when he made his statements the evidence and testimony upon which he did this proceeded from the lips of one enjoying tho confidence of the Government to an extent that perhaps no other officardid.Then again the Mi ulster of Finance in 1874 had said that the country would be ruined if the Pu title Railroad was constructed and the results would be deplorable ju tire extreme but scarce had tbe house settled down to business than an act oas placed upon the rtatutes providiog for the boilding of the Pacific Railway.(Hear, hear) The Hon.Premier tad at Sarnia claimed credit fur the present tariff whilst people well know that the original tariff was laughed out of tho Hooso and was passed with changes from those first proposed by the Government; and he bad further claimed credit from the manufacturers of Montreal during the late election for having given them a 17} par cent tariff, whilst his financial minuter sneered at tbe idea of any protection whatever.Dr.Tapper procerded to rpoak at length to shipmasters and canting masters to Frames, Spoons, Forks, &G«,\t0CC.,\t&G.AND FULL LINK OF WORTH SEEING !

What was bad for the revenue was good lor tho country, and tbe people had been able to buy large quantities of goods for lees than they need to pay, thus while the ex chequer lost the people gained.As there hgd been no diminution in consumption of articles he was inclined to believe that tue larger half of the loss was due to shrinkage and not to diminution of consumption.He then proceeded to attribute the depression to tbe large importations as the figures increased in each year and a corresponding increase in bank discounts.Many merchants were bolding larger stocks than they should have held for there was a larg* deprecation in holding stocks and shrinkage.A second cause was depression in lumber trade ; this was the largest single industry, next to agriculture in the country, employing an immense amount of labor.Ho believed that depression resulted from men of inexperience operating in lumber.When tho fall in prices took place a few years ago in the United States it became impossible for our producers to compete.Then there was extravagant speculation with but a limited market, and during the past few years men possessing neither brains or money engaged largely in manufacturing enterprises.The banks should not be held blameless f r they at timts gave discounts to men of straw and no inconsiderable portion of the depression was attribntable to this.He did not mean to say that these bankers were different from those of the United States or England still they should exercise caution.There were external causes too to which the dc pression was attributable.The House knew that no depression could exist in the United States without visibly affecting Canadian in-tereats.He had no doubt tbe distrets of our | manufacturers had been aggravated by this.1 1858.protective tariffs formed rings and rings brined.We bad in Canada one proof ot the danger of any one man holding immense interests under his control : his impression too was that the effect of a higher tariff promoted an artificial transferrence of the ratal population to the towns (hear, hear).Many persons had gone from their occupations in the rural districts to the towns, and entering Into competition with others, as small shop keepers had asiisted in producing the present disastrous results.There was still ample rocm iu our rural districts fir any surplus population, and he hoped that those within and those without the House would reco-gnize this.He doubted very much whether the manufacturers ot the United States nad really been benefltted by the fiscal policy, adopted regarding their Interests.No doubt it was a bar] thing that the Canadians should be illused by tbe high tariff against them as regards exports to the United SUtes, whilst the moderate tariff oi the Canadian Government enabled the former to slaughter goods here.This was to be regretted, hot the fact of its existence, be was tract to construct It in 14 years.This was the next step taken to shake public confidence in the future of the country more noticeable when tbe Premier at Halifax declared that all the resources of the British Expire could not builc it in ten years.Next came Mr.Brown\u2019s proposed reciprocity treaty, containing as it did proposals that struck terror and dismay Into the promoters of the industries of the Dominion.It would be difficult to over estimate the depression that this ^rown mission caused.Next came tiro financial loan of 1874, and the imposition cf $20,000-000 of debt upon Canada.The people had to pay the Intdrest, and the money wss not required.Another disastrous policy upon tho part of the Finance Minister was the insoaoce last summer of a circular, which placed in the bauds of bankers a weapon they could use to shut suddenly down on their customers if it was so desired, and the Opposition preas\u2014notably th« Ottawa Citisen\u2014had, by its manly utterances and its timely protest, brought the Finance Minister to his senses.(Cheers.) Then again, the immorality of certain transactions\u2014tbe dealings of the Gov- £ l\tj XS V» *\t\u2014 \u2014 \u2014- \u2014 -J\t- 1 \u2014\u2014 - » of opinion, would pot warrant the Govern-I ernment with the banks, the letter of Mr.ment In following what was a terrible error iu national policy.The Govermpept tyd felt it their duty to Investigate the matter, and give solemn deliberation to the proposi-tlon of protecting certain interests, but they felt that they might well hesitate bef re reversing the legislation of any - Government that proceeded them for at hast 25 years.This was a moat inopportune time ; we had enormous engagements, and some which coaid not possibly be carried cot.He was quite aware that many gentlemen imagined the manufacturing' interests much greater than they were.Our industrial population was composed of 46,000 people, and a high tariff would not suit or benefit them, and this applied to many other trades.Only one-twentieth part of the people of Canada were interested In protection, aud the Gov-era meat\u2019s duty was to look to tbe interests of the remaining nineteen-twentieths.(Hear Brown to Mr.Simpson and the letter cf Mr.Simpson to Mr.Brown, and the lieuapce of circulars to the Ontario banks\u2019 customers appealing to them to sustain the Government\u2014 all pointed to tbe fact that gross corruption bad existed, and that the worthy gentleman, wbo was asked to come down handsomely, had in Much last over $600,000 of Dominion money in his bonk without interest, aud in September last he had over $500,000 without interest.[Mr.Topper teal the correspondence between Mr.Biown and Mr.Simpson, amid loud laughter and cheers.) The speaker next condemned the idea of Mr.Wilkes having, as vice-president of a bank bolding $300,000 of Dominion money, had a seat in tbe House.Mr.McMaster, too, another director of a bank, was in the Senate, and Mr.Simpson, also, held a seat there.To the fact that all these things had taken place, did he attribute much of considerable annoyance needlees loss to owners,-0____________ .> report to thdr owners unfavoiafcly of Quebec Jq OnietS.LiQUOr &Ild FlCkle aa a port ond leaving the impression that it |\t*\t^ is a place which their ships should if possible avoid.I think however, that if the Society would send a deputation to meet the merchants, brokers, Au., to lay their by-laws before them, hear the objections made against them, ana consider those objections in an amicable spirit, alterations might be made, whereby the men wonld still earn as much as they have been in the habit of doing, much ill feeling wonld be done away with, and a good understanding established among all those interested in shipping, which would be barrier tojthe further attacks of a Board of Trade, hostile to the shipping and lumber intereste, and desirous of sacrificing the positive good which the port now derives from them, t> the groundless hope of alluring to Quebec other business which Is firmly established elsewhere, and for which accommoddion would grow up at its own coet, were such ac-commodatiou required.It rhonld be borne iu mind that, owing to the combiued actions of the Board of Trad3, tho Harbour Commiesion and the S.L.B.Society, a large amount of basinets has already been driven from the port.A very large number of.elpps now load at different places on the river, from mills, the produce of every one of which was a few years ago brought to Quebec, acd handled here to tho benefit ef the place ; and this amount of business is now gone, notwithstanding the ample accommodation the harbour offers to ships, and the abnndant supply of wharf-room lor tbe cargoes of deals, which thtso ships now remove.All wishing to see ships continuing to come here should combine to render such employment attractive to owners, and'endeavour to remove those circumstauces which tend to driye them elsewhere.Mr.Alleyn has been considered the adviser of the Society.If its members consider my suggestions worthy ot being entertained and will confer with that gentleman, I feel confident be will take up the matter, assist to arrange a meeting and to have some satisfactory conclnsion arrived at.I er close ray card which is at the service of any who wish to see it and remaiu Your obdt.serv\u2019t A Mkbchamt.National School Hall.MHULWleMTIlllEII has the honor to announce that bis BENEFIT CONCERT WILL TAKE FLAGS OS MONDAY NE1T, FEBRUARY 28.TICKKTS 25 cents each.Doors open at 7.Concert to commence at !\u2022 Tickets for sale at R.Morgan\u2019s, O.K.Holl-well\u2019s, and all tbe principal Bookseller*.February 26, 1876.Y.NL_C.A.N EVANGELISTIC SERVICE, UNDER T\t»*_a n 4.1\tI\tauspices of the YOUNG MENS JOS.ROügerS & bons Uutlerv.CHRISTIAN association, win be bald m _\t^\ttbe MU3IO HALL on SUNDAY Evenixg.December 15.1875.\t|\t^ Everybody Invite*.THOS.a.COLE, Secretary.February 26, 1876.________A cims' iigi scion PMC mine cub.A.GRANT) M OR MM WILL BE HELD AT IHE BIBK, > On TUESDAY, 29th February, (Mardi Qras), commencing at EIGHT .P.M.«HARP, COMMITTEE !

If a high tariff were imposed It wonld tbe commercial trouble and widespread pub- largely affect tbe cost of production to all classes.Iu the case of tbe lumber interest, there was none th«t better deserved the attention of Government, and yet he did not hear one single demand for protection.The im-posttion of a high tariff would affect them very seriously, and they had an interest very diverse from other classes to which he alluded.If they undertook a general revision of the tariff there might be some level ling up as well as levelling down, aud It might be extremely difficult to avoid tbe conclusion that there was no reason Jor the exceptional favor shown some interests.Up to tbe present time tbe tariff bad been substantially a revenue, but it was not worthy that as a country became older the tariff inclined to become prohibitory.As compared with many of the British Colonies, the rate of taxation ju Canada was low, but in view of the large stim that bod to be raised annually for Dominion purposes alone, we most be very careful how we proceed to Increase taxation.He regarded all additional taxation as an onmixed evil, which would hinder the people from carrying out engagements into which they had entered.Tht-re were very few who would object to a moderate rate of duty ; but on the other hand there were yery few who would be williog to submit to a very high rate of duties if it was demonstrated to them that it would make au insignificant addition to oar population.It was a proper time to tamper with the tariff.What tbe country wants at the present time is to get at Its dep'essed condition.This condition would be only temporary, he believed, judging from the causes that led to it.This was no time for experiments, and he considered it would be dangerous in the extreme to resort to any new and rash fiscal policy, the issue of which uo man could fore- lie dissatUfactiou.He (Mr.Tupper) did not see that It was necessary for money to be borrowed in England simply to be deposited iu the Ontario and other banks.He refereed to Mr.Workman\u2019s speech.Mr.WORKMAN here arose, and said that be had no communication with the Government, that he was a vice-president of a bank, and tbat if the Finance Minister had drawn the public money from the banks last summer It would have been disastrous.He said \u2022o now.Mr.TUPPER said he bad asked no farther proof of the endorsatloa cf the soundness of what he had said regarding the finances of the country.After further extended remarks the speaker resumed his seat amid applause.Mr.MACKENZIE said he did not propose entering into a reply at any length, but ha desired to say that, in hfs speech at Halifax, he simply endorsed Sir A.T.Galt\u2019s opinions to a certvin extant, and the member for Cumberland bad only read one section of that speech and his speech at Sarnia.He défitd the hon.gentleman to maintain his position without destroying tbe speeches of those to whom he was opposed.What we had to do was, Canadian statemen were to legislate Iu the interest of our common country.He re-pudiated the insiuuation tbat tbeGrand Tiuok helped tbe present Government or members thereof, wh,n in opposiiion, to defeat the Pacific Railway.He asked for Mr.Tup-peps pi oof.Mr.TUPPER\u2014-Do you want It?Mr.MACKENZIE\u2014Yes.Mr.TyPFER\u2014Then I\u2019ll give It to yon now.Mr.Tupper then proceeded to reed the following from the English Railway 7Ym«1.THIS Corkage will be charged at ths rate of two Mrilllngs sterling per bottle to passengers supplying their own wines or liquors.For further particulars, apply to ALLANS, RAE A CO.Agents.February 8, 1876.___________ MAPPIN & WEBB, MANUFACTURERS, SUPPLY THE CONSUMER DIRECT WITH their CELEBRATED ATLANTIC MONTHLY Electro Silver Plate, Devoted to Literature, Soienoe, Art, Tftblô KlliVBB & Other Outlôry QUEBEC.each I\t8.00 .Arthabaaka and Three Rivera, by Railway, Sherbrooke, Lennox-Title, Island Pond rente, Eaa'era Town-¦hlpe and Richmond, to Montreal, by railway, dally, .Cbaudlere Station.8.00 .Montreal City by rail- way, and westward, dally, (c).Three Rivers and Sorel by railway, dally, at.ee \u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022 Leeds, (MegtnUe,) dally, (
